Hello everyone

I'm trying to buy a 3.5 1 TB external hard drive. I've familiar & have happily used both Transcend and WD drives and am happy with those. But I do not know anything about the ones below. I would like your opinion on the following 1TB drives, one of which I would want to purchase. Please let me know.

Warm Regards
Roshan

Go for a Seagate or WD depending on the place you are buying it from. If Seagate is the fast moving product there, go for it. There usually has a lower probability of failure and It will be easier to get replacement drive if it fails within warranty. Technically there is hardly a difference between them, they are all very closely matched.
